CollAsiaCollAsia reúne y capacita a profesionales y organizaciones que trabajan con colecciones patrimoniales en el Sudeste Asiático, que alberga colecciones patrimoniales asombrosas. Su objetivo es lograr un cambio positivo y duradero a través de la cooperación y la sensibilización, el aumento de los conocimientos y habilidades, y la mejora de la actitud y el comportamiento hacia el cuidado sostenible de las colecciones. El curso abarca la gestión y conservación de todo tipo de colecciones patrimoniales. Sus actividades se diseñan constantemente para superar las barreras lingüísticas y promover la alfabetización científica, el pensamiento crítico y la capacidad de resolución de problemas, el compromiso de la comunidad y los conocimientos y soluciones locales.

Creada en 2003 a petición de los Estados miembros del ICCROM, CollAsia se puso en marcha originalmente en colaboración con el Centro Regional de Arqueología y Bellas Artes de la Organización de Ministros de Educación de Asia Sudoriental (SEAMEO-SPAFA), con el apoyo financiero de la Fundación Getty. Desde 2012, la Administración del Patrimonio Cultural de la República de Corea (CHA) ha proporcionado generosamente a ICCROM la financiación básica para las actividades en curso de CollAsia en la región de Asia y el Pacífico, que también fomenta la cooperación Sur-Sur.

Los cursos organizados bajo el paraguas de CollAsia pueden abarcar una gran variedad de temas, pero todos están relacionados con la conservación de colecciones en la región. En cursos anteriores se han tratado temas como la conservación de materiales específicos; el embalaje, transporte y almacenamiento de colecciones patrimoniales; el patrimonio subacuático; y los primeros auxilios culturales a colecciones en peligro.
